Something is happening
don’t know what it is
But I think I could like it
if I just learn to let it in
If I don’t like it
If it’s not good
Letting it in now
I think I still should
Feelings they cannot kill you
even feelings that want you dead
Living here in this moment
the clouds have come down to my head
Don’t try to fight it
Don’t try to resist
What’s happening’s the river
and I’m just the fish
Something is happening…
(something)
(something)
(something)
Something is happening to me.

Don't Choke
02:30
|

Hey audience here comes the show
Your favorite band that no one knows
and I’m just hoping we don’t choke
Yeah I’m just hoping we don’t choke
(aaaaaaaaah) (aaaaaaaaaaah)
Sweating all the small stuff
Sweating through my tshirt
Sweating out my heart for you
Don’t choke!
Every single moment of my life has lead up to this but seriously no pressure
Seriously, no pressure
Because every moment of my life leads up to every other moment of my life
That’s how moments work
That’s how feelings hurt
Both a gift and a curse
Like a lady with a big big purse
Don’t choke
Don’t!
Mostly I’m concerned what should I do with my arms?
Well I guess that I’ll just use them to okay my guitar
Don’t choke!
Don’t choke!
Don’t choke!
Don’t!
Sweating all the small stuff
Sweating through my tshirt
Sweating out my heart for you
Don’t!

Dog (Made Me Do It)
02:13
|
|||
|
I ate my own homework
The dog made me do it
He watched as I slobbered
But I could intuit
Number one on my neighbor
Number two on his lawn
The dog would have wanted
Us all to move on
That's the way he wanted it to be
So I just went, did it instinctually
Think I'm more in touch with him than me
More in touch with him than me
la la la la la la la la
I climbed a really big, big tree
The fire department had to come and get me
Maybe I'm an empath
Or maybe I'm delusional
But I've got all these feelings
That don't belong to me at all

I try so hard
Does it even matter?
Does it even matter?
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know
Pinching at my skin
(I try so hard)
Do I even matter?
Do I even matter?
(Does it even matter?)
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know
So I let it all go
Try and go with the flow
But if that’s not apropos
I guess I don’t know

Mayor Pt. 2
03:39

They made me mayor for the day
and all I got was my feelings hurt
They took all my feelings away
and all I got was this tshirt
They made me mayor for the day
I ate the key to the city
They took all my feelings away
Now all I feel is shitty
(So shitty)
Clip clop horse cop
City hall salami
Kiss your baby
Now I am your mommy
Your mommy(x3)
I’m listening to the birds imitate
the sound my car makes when I lock it
And I’m feeling like my feelings are fake
because I felt them and then forgot it
They made me mayor for the day
I think it was out of pity
They took all my feelings away
Now all I feel is shitty
(so shitty)
Clip clop horse cop
City hall salami
Kiss your baby
Now I am your mommy
Your mommy
Your mommy
Your mommy
Why does it smell like scrambled eggs when I’m driving on the freeway?
What’s the difference between love and hate when I feel it in my body?
What’s the difference between love and hate when I feel it my body?
What’s the difference between love and hate when I feel it in my
When I feel it in my
When I feel it in my body

American Cowboy
03:47

Standing in front of an open fridge trying just to keep my chill
Putting my hands in my roommate’s yogurt for something I can actually feel
My hands are feeling sticky
but I’ve got no regret
‘cause all my thoughts and actions
are the fucking best
I’m an American cowboy
and my stomach hurts like shit
I’m gonna find out what you love and I’m gonna demolish it
Flingin’ away all of my inconvenient feelings for something a little less real
I’m gonna lay out in the sun ‘til I cook like bacon and the skin on my back begins to peel
Somehow I’m still alive despite near misses
I showed up to the gunfight all I brought was kisses
So if you wanna cross me babe then you’re the one to blame
I’ll take this little moment just to have my one refrain
Yeah you better think twice if you’re thinking that we’re the same ‘cause
I’m an American cowboy
and my stomach hurts like shit
I’m gonna find out what you love and I’m gonna demolish it
I’m an american cowboy
and my stomach hurts like shit
I tried so hard to love you but I couldn’t get into it
Felt like chewing on a cherry pit
Felt like I’m about to lose my shit
Slurping up somebody else’s spit
Thinking maybe that I liked it
Felt like choking on a lemon seed
Forgetting all my earthly wants and needs
Begging at someone on hands and knees
But there’s still a cowboy in me
But there’s still a cowboy in me
But there’s still a cowboy in me in me in me
I’m an american cowboy
and my stomach hurts like shit
I’m gonna find out what you love and I’m gonna demolish it
I’m an american cowboy
and my stomach hurts like shit
I tried so hard to love you but I couldn’t get into it

I’m fighting a 10 foot tall Nancy Pelosi
I’m kicking myself in the balls ‘til I do my laundry
I’m walking into city hall looking for handshake
I’m filing a suit slip and fall because of my back aches
I’m fighting
I’m fighting
I’m fighting
I’m fighting
I’m fighting a 10 foot tall
I’m kicking I’m kicking I’m kicking I’m kicking
I’m kicking myself in the balls
They’re ringing they’re ringing they’re ringing they’re ringing they’re ringing a 12 pound bell
I’m walking in backwards I’m walking in backwards I’m walking backwards into hell

Texting and driving and driving and texting
Texting and driving and driving and texting
Sitting in my parked car crying
I’d rather be texting and driving
Texting and driving and driving and texting
I’ll be arriving while driving while texting
Why would they let a bitch like me operate heavy machinery?
Don’t know!
I’m catching Kony. It’s me - I got him
I made a trade for Osama Bin Laden
Mission accomplished because America’s awesome
They wrote the scripture and I’m just their Gollum
And I chose to believe them
Okay, I chose to believe them
Yeah I chose to believe them!
To believe them
To believe them
To believe them
to believe
Believe….
Texting and driving and driving and texting

Nice to meet you
Enchanté
I’m texting you with my ETA
Me and your mom have friendship bracelets
Texting your dad a curated playlist
Texting God in my head
Also known as praying
Now I’m playing dead
Also known as laying
Let’s go!
When I die take my texts and delete them
When I die take my texts and delete them
When I die take my texts and delete them
And delete them
And delete them

And delete them

We got ‘em from Bren’s mom
They were … candied pecans
So good we had to write this song
Candied pecans
Candied pecans
Candied pecans
Candied pecans
Candied pecans
They tasted just like flan
She thought Zeus was a swan
Oh wait … that came out wrong
Candied pecans
Candied pecans
Candied pecans
Candied pecans
Candied pecans
You can’t get these at the store
(Thank heavens we got some for this tour!)
Don’t even talk to me until I’ve had my little treat
I don’t care if it’s stupid it still means something to me
Something to me
(Does it mean something to you?)
(Does it mean something to you?)
(Does it mean something to you?)
Something to me something to me something to me something to
Candied pecans

Go out in the front yard you’ll find Ian pulling weeds
Go out in the backyard and that’s where you’ll find me
I’m digging up worms
I’m taking them to church
I’m taking them to church
Kabir is at the pulpit plants tell them it’s fine to die
Marc soaks up the sun and counts the clouds up in the sky
I’m digging up worms
I’m taking them to church
I’m taking them to church
All the pages in my book
Get turned by gusts of wind
Nothing feels quite like
A blade of grass feels on my skin
On my skin
On my skin
I’m digging up worms
I’m taking them to church
I’m diving face first
Into everything that hurts

Hold my breath past the cemetery
I don’t date I just wanna get married
I’m no ghost baby I’m a goblin
Ask me what’s wrong maybe I’m talk about it
Just imagine how i’m feeling
to be begging you like this
I think that you get the gist
But if you don’t get it
I guess that’s just fine
I think you’d regret it
If you made your thoughts mine
Just imagine how i’m feeling
Just imagine how i’m feeling
Just imagine how I’m feeling to be begging you like this
To be begging you like this
To be begging you like…
Took it a little too far
Took it a little too far
Took it a little too far
All that I want
All that I need’s
My christian name
and my government cheese
and my government cheese
and my government cheese

Expert In A Dying Field
by The Beths
supported by 24 fans who also own “Something is Happening...”
I have had this album on constant repeat whilst completing my dissertation AND research project back in 2023. It kept me grounded and at the same time inspired to keep going. It is so hard to choose a favourite track because I genuinely love them all (my album buddyyyy) but I guess the first song that caught my attention was "2 AM" BUT, it is really ALL of them!!!
go to albumsupported by 20 fans who also own “Something is Happening...”
Been a huge fan of Peach Kelli Pop since The White Wires decided to call it a day and this EP really shakes things up in an exciting way by slowing things down, without losing any of the charm or immediacy that they've always been known for. All the thumbs up!
go to albumQueen of L.A. Pearl Charles takes us on a night ride into the high desert with disco strings, 60s pop melodies, and sweet songs about love.
